strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, hidden in the depths of the water, the strength is greatly diminished, even martial artists find it difficult to kill them through the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the Black Bear Spirit paddled through the water, arriving just in time, and swiped its claw fiercely at the black shadow formed by the monstrous fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its strength was astonishing, almost reaching the monster’s level, and it was adept at swimming, easily dispersing the black shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the crowd showed a glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shadow quickly reformed into an even larger mass, surging relentlessly toward the Black Bear Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Bear Spirit roared in anger, using its teeth and claws, engaging in an underwater battle with the shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the monstrous fish were torn and bitten in half by the enraged Black Bear Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the number of monstrous fish was vast, seemingly endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attacks grew stronger, quickly forcing the Black Bear Spirit into a retreat, howling in misery, not daring to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow formed by the monstrous fish continued to close in after driving away the Black Bear Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly aware of the people on the ship, they would not rest until they bit through the hull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me handle this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lou Yi stood at the bow, nearly stripped of his clothes, his body shimmering with a faint jade-white light, and he leaped into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monstrous fish smelled the human scent, became frenzied, and all swarmed toward Lou Yi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang bang bang bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang bang bang bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous impact came continuously; if it were another Full Cycle Martial Artist, they would likely be knocked out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lou Yi possessed the Talent of Tenacity, able to absorb 80% of any damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with his exceptionally strong physique, he only felt the fish’s impact as if a child was pounding his chest, weightless with little effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head was level with the water surface, standing firmly in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see black fish monsters the size of watermelons opening their mouths fiercely, clearly wanting to devour his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his petrified skin, even in its first form, could withstand attacks at the level of Profound Iron hardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, despite the monstrous fish’s persistent efforts to bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like wood scraping against a steel plate, unable to leave a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even broke many of their fine teeth due to exerting too much force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, of course, didn’t just passively take the hits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw a punch, scattering the monstrous fish in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some fish were deformed by the blow, but most were still lively, bravely gathering again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi realized this was because his strength was greatly diminished in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, his basic strength was twenty-seven to twenty-eight thousand jin, and he had just exerted less than a tenth of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by adjusting the angle and speed of his punches, he could somewhat improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through experimentation, Lou Yi changed his straight punch to a hook punch, swinging at a 45-degree upward angle, transforming punches into hand chops, achieving about forty percent of his land effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With over ten thousand jin of basic strength, it was enough to inflict effective damage on the monstrous fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lou Yi swam outward, drawing the fish away from the boat, continuously killing the fish to accumulate qi-blood and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splitting Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Piercing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soul Devouring!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a full strength punch, at least thirty or forty thousand jin of force erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, resonant sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding shadow, as if hit by a bomb, exploded over a large area in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless pearl-like white bubbles formed in the water, spreading rapidly to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the Jiang River water was boiling, spectacular to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people on the ship, initially worried about Lou Yi’s safety, were dumbfounded and developed a new understanding of his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue heading further away!\" Seeing Lou Yi draw away the fish, the ship’s captain was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly ordered the sailors to speed up, steering the ship away from this perilous area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Shu won’t be in danger, right?\" Shi Caifeng said with some concern, \"Should I go down to help him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the river ahead, the surface covered with boiling white bubbles, and the underwater sounded with ’thud thud’ of dull, heavy blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, don’t cause more trouble.\" Shi Qingde was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underwater, Lou Yi continued to attack the fish, slaughtering heap after heap of monstrous fish, staining large areas of the river red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attribute panel showed the prompts ’Energy +1’, ’Energy +2’, constantly flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Lou Yi’s total energy increased by over a hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It grew faster than when he killed spirits on Tai City’s city wall, with no sign of slowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The richness of creatures in the Longjiang River, and the vast number of Fish Spirits, far exceeded the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi floated motionless in the water, only his head above the surface, his eyes closed, as if turned to stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though killing monstrous fish gave energy, they were endless, and he was exhausted, physically and mentally, wanting only to stay quietly in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black fish monsters opened their mouths, sharp teeth biting at Lou Yi, swarming all over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many even fought violently among themselves for position, giving Lou Yi free energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the monstrous fish, unable to bite through Lou Yi’s skin, gave up and gradually withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi regained freedom, breathing a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly leaped from the water, using exquisitely perfected physical control skills, stepping on the water’s surface and rushing forward, a long white trail forming behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long to catch up with the intentionally waiting ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their admiration for Lou Yi immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship’s captain was especially moved: \"If it weren’t for Sect Leader Liu on the ship today, turning the tide. The ship would have capsized, and none of us would have survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the arrogant Overlord Chu Feng nodded in agreement: \"Today I understand why no one has survived crossing the Longjiang River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the fish monsters we encountered, apart from Sect Leader Liu, I can’t think of a second person to handle them, not even ten martial artists would manage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onward in their journey, they were even more cautious, learned from the lesson, and dared not provoke any creatures encountered on the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they couldn’t avoid them, they mostly drove them away, avoiding further killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, although they encountered two more attacks, they were small in scale and didn’t cause any casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless miles away in the Wei Kingdom, a fiery red mountain peak shrouded in clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mountain top, a voice filled with slight anger sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two True Inheritors fallen consecutively, something unseen in a hundred years. It seems the Five Elements Sect’s fame has been forgotten by the world...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a beam of light flew out from the mountain, speeding rapidly toward the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light floated in the air for a long time; upon closer inspection, it was seen to be a flying green bamboo mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.888Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","942feda33aa1e5dc048e56bd5fe353781e422ff2a839a5e73e32e2cb2d1e157c","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-238","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-236",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
